This is the most adorable Pet boutique. Loaded with product and stocked very well. A bright and light ambiance. April the owner and dog trainer for Bella Woof is knowledgeable, a good listener, and helpful. Her background includes animal trainer and caretaker at the world famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. This is a wonderful small business to support. Your fur babies will love stopping by Bella Woof in beautiful La Jolla, Ca

Bella Woof has been such a wonderful find for us. We recently brought home our puppy, Porter, and quickly realized we needed some help navigating all the ups and downs of puppyhood. Signing up for training with April was hands down one of the best decisions we’ve made.\n\nApril is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about both the puppies and their people. The group classes have been fantastic - not only for learning commands and building good habits, but also for helping puppies socialize and gain confidence around others. We’ve seen such a big difference in Porter over the past few weeks. He’s more confident, listens better, and understands so much more than he did when we first started.\n\nPuppy class has honestly become the highlight of our week. We always look forward to it, and it’s been so rewarding watching Porter grow and learn.\n\nBella Woof truly is a one-stop shop for all things dog. Whether it’s training, treats, toys, or advice, the team has been incredibly helpful and welcoming. We’re so grateful we found them and know we’ll be coming back for many years to come.

I enrolled my dog in the training class and paid the full amount. The first session was a get to know each other session with a few basics. Sadly, two days later my dog had an accident and broke her right paw in two different places. The surgery was $7000. I had to go into serious debt for it. I asked the veterinarian to write a letter explaining that my dog could not attend the classes as she was in a cast and a cone for 8 weeks. I provided this letter to the owner and she did not accept it. I know classes are non-refundable, but this was a very serious, extenuating circumstance. I am now having my bank fight it. I live on a fixed income, something these owners clearly do not understand, and need that money to help pay back the surgery she had. It is not like I flaked. I provided proof including the letter from the vet specifically stating she could not physically attend the classes and proof from the hospital that she had the surgery on both fractures. They would not budge. That tells me a lot. They are not compassionate dog lovers and do not care about customer service. Never again.\n\nOh and by the way, the owners are incredibly condescending. No sense of customer service. And no, I do not believe they changed owners. April is still the co-owner and "trainer". Her husband is a snooty person. April has no heart and only cares about the money. They give other business owners a bad name. Shame on them.\n\nUpdate:\nMy bank is trying to fight them for the $249 and this money hungry trainer refuses. How can they even look in the mirror? Complete lack of integrity. I did not receive the services included and that is the bottom line. Money hungry with no integrity.

Love it here! If you are looking for high quality food, they have it. Customize for your pet. The cutest clothes, harnesses and leashes. Tons of wonderful treats, antlers, pig ears, bully sticks. They offer small group puppy classes, grooming and even doggie daycare! Your one stop shop for all things pet. I love that it is family owned and operated so you get that friendly feel here.

I’m not a pet owner, but this store has a magical feel to it, akin to Disneyland. Every corner is stocked with delightful and adorable items, ranging from stylish outfits and toys to tasty treats and even medications for pets. What makes this store truly unique is that it’s the first one in the state to offer a comprehensive range of pet products, including dairy products and a training center. And don’t forget to check out their dental hygiene section!
